What else to take for stomach flu besides Pepto?
Hi my name is Rachael and I recently cought the stomach flu and I need to know what else to take besides peptobismal

Answered on 3rd Dec '24
The symptoms are pain in the abdomen, vomiting, and diarrhea. Viruses are the main culprits that lead to this issue, so antibiotics are not suitable. Besides Pepto-Bismol, drink plenty of water to keep yourself hydrated and rested. Hands-on, dry bread like crackers and rice can also make a difference. If the symptoms get severe or last longer then consult a gastroenterologist.

My wife mildly bulky pancreas (at head in region) hai kiya kare
Female | 35
Your pancreas is bit puffy, more around the head part. Inflammation or fatty changes can cause this. It brings pain in your stomach, trouble digesting food, and weight going down. Eat healthy foods with little fat to help. Don't drink alcohol. Try to keep normal weight too. See a gastroenterologist regularly to check on this condition.

I am 33 years old. I have constipation, loss of apoetite and sleeplessness.
Male | 33
Bowel disorders like constipation, lower appetite, and sleep disturbances come to your attention, and it is very natural for you to feel worried. Environmental stress, dietary changes, or any other underlying health issues could result in these ailments. One of the measures to overcome chronic constipation is the use of high fiber foods in your regular diet, drinking enough water, and being active in exercise. Where the issue of healthy appetite is concerned and better sleep is considered, the setting up of a regular daily program in combination with the practice of some kind of relaxation techniques to cope with stress can be the key. Still, if these manifestations are prolonged, I would advise you on making an appointment with a specialist who will carry out a full analysis and give you personal suggestions. Your health is crucial, and obtaining constant help from a physician may be the right way.

The ultrasound gave good news for your liver, gall bladder, pancreas, spleen, and aorta. Let's now move on to your kidneys. You have cysts in both kidneys which are small lumps filled with fluid. Cysts are very often harmless and don't cause any symptoms. Monitor them during your regular check-ups to ensure they remain the same size since they can cause problems if they change size or become unstable. If they do, visit a nephrologist.

I’m having frequent urination and abdominal cramps
Female | 28
Most people at times deal with bladder troubles. You may feel an urgent need to urinate frequently, along with stomach cramps. Such symptoms often indicate a urinary tract infection (UTI) or bladder irritation. Simple steps can provide relief: drinking ample water, limiting caffeine and spicy fare, and fully emptying your bladder when urinating. However, if discomfort persists, seeking medical advice from a urologist becomes advisable.

Pancreas problem and fatty liver
Male | 22
Pancreas problems and fatty liver are two separate medical conditions that can occur independently or sometimes in association with each other. In some cases, more advanced treatment may be necessary. For example, advanced fatty liver disease may lead to cirrhosis, which may require a liver transplant. For pancreas problems, surgery may be necessary in some cases.
Consult with a gastroenterologist or a hepatologist to find out what is the problem exactly.

Hi there, I'm currently only 19 years old and have previously had occasional heartburn. However, the past 2 weeks I have noticed i have been getting it more frequently. For example last night my heartburn kept waking me up throughout the night. but right now I'm experiencing heartburn and tingling/pins and needles in my hands
Female | 19
You might have acid reflux causing heartburn and tingling hands. Acid reflux happens when stomach acid goes up your food pipe. That causes a burning feeling, called heartburn. Tingling hands could mean irritated nerves. To help, eat smaller meals, avoid spicy foods, don't lie down after eating. See a gastroenterologist if it doesn't get better.

Female | 38
Are you experiencing brown bleeding and pain in your belly area? Brown bleeding might be due to the stomach or to some place in the digestive system. The pain in the epigastric region you are having could be due to your stomach. Try eating small, frequent meals and avoid spicy or greasy foods. If the bleeding persists or the pain gets worse, it is recommended that you see a healthcare provider for further advice.

I’ve been having light brown poo along with a type 6 on the Bristol stool chart for more than a week. My stool is also floating. Lastly for around the same time when I need to go to the toilet it’s a matter of urgency when it’s never been like that in my whole life. And another thing is that when I have done a poo I feel like I need to go again as I don’t feel I have emptied it completely
Female | 18
Your bowel movements may have altered. Light brown floating poop and sudden urges to go could occur. Not feeling empty after pooping may happen too. Diet shifts, infections, and digestive problems could cause this. Drink more water to help. Eat fiber-rich fruits and veggies. Consult a gastroenterologist if issues persist.

Male | 23
The health pill you took made your stomach upset resulting in a lot of gas and food not going down. It may be a side effect of the pill. The best thing to do right now is to discontinue using it and concentrate on mild, easily digestible foods such as crackers, rice, or bananas. Make sure you take a lot of water to keep yourself hydrated. If the condition persists or worsens, seek medical advice from a gastroenterologist.

Crohn's disease is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease affecting the digestive tract. It results from the immune system attacking the gut lining, causing inflammation and various symptoms like abdominal pain, diarrhea, fatigue, weight loss, and fever. Complications include blockages, ulcers, and fistulas. Treatment involves medications, dietary changes, and sometimes surgery. Consult a gastroenterologist for a personalized treatment plan.

Iam 31 years old female, im experiencing severe coughing maybe cause of acid, when i coughibg it taste like bitter
Female | 31
You may have acid reflux, a condition in which stomach acid moves into your throat. This can lead to a sore taste when you cough. Also, symptoms such as heartburn, and a sensation of food coming back up are common. Having smaller meals, not eating spicy food, and not going to bed right after dinner are effective strategies. If the issue persists, you should make an appointment with a gastroenterologist for the best treatment.

Female | 21
You might have an anal fissure, a little cut. Or piles, swollen blood vessels. They cause blood and pain when using the bathroom. Hard stools, straining too much, and sitting long can cause them. Fiber, water, and ointments help. Visit a gastroenterologist for further treatment.

No pain in right lower abdomen. But have gol bladder stone . Need operation ?
Male | 55
Holding a gallstone and not feeling pain in the right lower abdomen for some time is a bit tricky. Gallstones can obstruct the bile duct and cause you to be seriously ill. Symptoms like yellowing of the skin, intolerable pain, or having a fever should be rushed to the doctor. Surgery to remove the gallbladder may be required to allow you to remain healthy. It is highly recommended to consult a gastroenterologist to have more information regarding this.

It sounds like you are experiencing a lot of discomfort with your stomach and head, along with fever and frequent motions.

I have pian in stomach and also have loose motion what can I do what type of medicine I have to deacribed
Female | 24
A stomach virus or something you’ve eaten could be causing these symptoms. Drink lots of fluids to keep yourself hydrated and eat plain foods such as rice and toast until you start to feel better. You can also take an over-the-counter medication like Imodium AD if necessary for relief from loose stools. It might help if you avoid spicy or fatty foods while resting. Make sure to visit a gastroenterologist if this doesn’t go away.

Am having stomach ache and motion 2-3 times and peeing continuously
Female | 35
Running to the bathroom repeatedly or feeling stomach pains? It may indicate a stomach bug, causing frequent bowel movements and increased urination. Staying hydrated and consuming bland foods could provide relief. However, if symptoms persist beyond a day or two, consulting a gastroenterologist becomes crucial for proper recovery.
